Why Students Learn Both Shiatsu & Anma
Two Traditions. One Complete Healing Approach.
Beginning at the introductory level, Shiatsu and Anma are taught separately so students can develop a deeper understanding of each method.
Students build:
✓ Better technique
✓ Stronger body mechanics
✓ Greater confidence
✓ A deeper foundation for advanced practice
In advanced training, these systems are integrated into a complete Shiatsu Anma Therapy approach.
About Kaneko Shiatsu Anma Therapy
Kaneko Shiatsu Anma Therapy combines modern Shiatsu and traditional Anma
Shiatsu, meaning “finger pressure,” uses pressure techniques along meridian pathways and specific points called tsubo to support balance within the body.
Anma, meaning “pressure soothing,” incorporates traditional kneading, pressing, shaking, tapping, and movement techniques developed over centuries.
Together, these methods provide a comprehensive approach to bodywork that addresses the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.
Learn From Experienced Shiatsu Anma Educators
Dr. DoAnn Kaneko has trained thousands of students and developed a unique approach combining traditional Japanese Shiatsu and Anma techniques.
Alan Saruwatari, a graduate of Dr. Kaneko’s Shiatsu Massage School of California, continues to share this powerful healing system through hands-on instruction.
